Russia (bbabo.net) - Diets can help a person look younger. However, there is a drink that, on the contrary, accelerates the aging process. Eat This, Nor That cites research published in 2021 in Current Nutrition Reports. According to him, the use of ordinary sweet soda can lead to a change in the composition of the intestinal flora, inflammatory processes in the body and the development of oxidative stress - all these processes provoke premature aging.
Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco have previously noted the role of sugar-added beverages in premature aging at the cellular level. The study analyzed data from 5,309 American adults between the ages of 20 and 65 with no history of cardiovascular disease. The data were collected as part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, an American program to assess the health and nutritional status of US residents from 1999 to 2002.
People who regularly drank sugary drinks were found to have shorter telomeres in their white blood cells - the ends of the DNA chromosomes. Scientists have linked shortened telomeres with an increased risk of chronic disease and, as a result, a decrease in life expectancy.
According to study author Elissa Epel, this is the first evidence that drinking soda affects telomere length. She emphasizes that the data is applicable to all ages and races. Moreover, the process of telomere shortening begins long before the onset of diseases. The expert clarified that although the study was conducted exclusively on adults, its findings may be applicable to children.
It is emphasized that the findings indicate a relationship, not a causal relationship. However, the long-term effects of drinking soda are clear. In particular, it is noted that if you consume half a liter of soda with added sugar daily, it will accelerate the aging process by an average of 4.6 years. With this mode of drinking soda, telomeres are shortened in the same way as when smoking, cites the message of Inosmi.
Previously, the doctor named the best cholesterol-lowering foods after age 50. It is noted that it is necessary to include in the diet oats and everything made from oat flour, fruits that can be eaten with the skin, beans, seeds and nuts. They all contain fiber, which helps remove cholesterol from the body.
